Description

EDITED: Just noticed that on a VM wich does not use Themes it does show the icon. It does *not* show however on my PC using XP, Themes, 120 DPI display, Normal Text, Large Icons.

Attached images:

FM43083A shows the Personality "icon" for a "clean" loading IDE with no starting project;
FM43083B shows the same icon after loading a project;
FM43083C shows the same icon after closing the project.

So, it shows 3 different icons on the Personality Toolbar (one being "empty icon") for a Single Personality product...

Hope this makes it more clear as to what the problem is!

Steps to Reproduce:

Just fire up a brand new install of Delphi 2007 and check to the right of the Help menu. Also, see attached pictures and the description for explanation of what they are.

Then maybe as a sugestion, change the toolbar to default to "not" show.

BTW: If the toolbar is empty, how will a proper personality icon show when there is more than one product installed?

Added another screen-shot of same problem in a VM running Windows Server 2003 with 96 DPI, Normal fonts, Normal sized icons (D07Bug15b.png)

The correct personality icon shows for me as soon as I open a project. After that, closing the project still shows the personality icon, albeit a different one.

Is this what you're seeing as well? Or does it *never* shown an icon?

Yes, it looks like it, only in 3 variations:

1) Open IDE with no project loading and it shows "empty";
2) Open project and it shows one icon;
3) Close project and it shows another icon.

Kind of weird for a "single" personality product!
In fact, it would make more sense to disable the toolbar from start as I've done as it only takes up space for a single personality product...

OK thanks for confirming. Would you mind updating the report? Especially screenshots showing the two different icons would be nice. Thanks.
